I used all new hose. Coming off the passenger side head the hose connects the radiator side tank.

$9.95 for one, or ~36 for 4. I'll split the 4 pack if someone wants to go in on it.

Looks good. I made my own adapter. I started with the factory pieces, cut the tubes off, then high-temp silver-soldered steel 4AN fittings onto them and had then chromed. End result is the same but I don't have to deal with an extra fitting to leak.

If you guys really want to step it up there is a ton of meat in the head to drill and tap.... The pic below features 1/8 NPT vent ports.



Kurt at W2W was the first to mention this little tip (about 8 years ago) although none that I know of has really tested the theory fully....

Any benefit? I would think once the head is purged of air, the vents are pretty much useless.
